My firsts step

I've studied english for four years and I haven't been in a class of english ("I haven't taken any English classes") because I don't have (haven't had) money to pay for it but I'm really interested to learn this language. So what did I do? in this four years, (Over/For the past four years) i've been listening almost every day one hours of english (I've listened to around an hour of English every day). I began in with very basic conversations in English which I downloaded from the internet and after afterwards/after that I could understand English more easyly easily so. I recomend would recommend it for to any person anyone who want wants to begin to learn any language.

However, I have to admit that write this is very difficult for my I have found writing this very difficult, so hereafter ("hereafter" is not a word that would be used frequently in conversation) I need to improve my writing and my speaking.

On the whole this is good, there are some expressions that do not sound natural but as you practice reading and speaking in English this will improve.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Hello my nickname is Cheerios. I was born and raised in Colombia. I now live in Canada and I would love to teach, help and encourage anyone with their SPANISH, and for you to teach me and correct my English in return. I am a very loving person and like to talk about all situations of life (This is correct grammatically, but it doesn't sound very natural - "all aspects of life" may be a better way to say this). Let's chat..

This is generally very good, there are just a few issues with word order and expressing yourself in a way that sounds more natural to a native speaker - but this will come with practice!

My nephew and a bike.

Hello, today I'm going to write about my nephew.
His name is Daniel, and he is 7 years old. I think he is very clever, he loves books, stories, cartoons and of course video games (This sounds more natural with the "of course" before the final item). But he has a problem, he cannot learn to ride a bike. I have tried to teach him (I think the present perfect is better here) with training wheels, but he is scared (again, sounds more natural than "has fear"). He has never fallen off the bike, but for a strange reason he is scared. I hope he gets over the fear. (could also say "I hope he overcomes...", however this is slightly more formal).

My favourite books

I really like reading. In my opinion, it's a really good way to forget about your problems and real life for some hours. It may not sounds good, but sometimes, if I'm sad, I need to think about someone else's problems to feel better. But I'm not such a bad person! So I prefer reading so that the problems are not real :)

I love thriller books. I think that this kind of books makes you continue reading until it ends. You can't stop! ("this" needs a singular noun. A phrase like "keeps you reading until the last page" would be more conversational, but your version is otherwise fine)
Some of the books I'd recommend would be the following ones:
Firstly, I must write about my favourite writer. He's Spanish and he's called Carlos Ruiz Zafón. I think he's quite famous not only in Spain but also in other countries. His best book is <em>The Shadow of the Wind</em>. The story that he tells is very interesting and the book is even better because he writes about Barcelona, so I know what he's writting about. It makes you feel that you're part of the story.
On the other hand, I also love Swedish thrillers. When I say that, everybody thinks about Stieg Larsson and Millennium, but I read the first book and I didn't really like it as it's too long and he sometimes writes about topics I don't understand (for example, economics). For this reason, my favourite Swedish writer is Camilla Läckberg. I've already read six of her books and I'm waiting for two others, as they're not able in Spanish yet. All of her books are based on a little town in Sweden where some murders take place and police try to find who the murderer is.

As you can see, I love reading. In fact, I'd like to read more, but because of university I don't have enough time to read all the books I want to read.
